Performance Critique: April 12

A music and magic open mic

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXNirid-O3o

0m28s A failed improvised opening, next time, do one joke, then do the in the moment opening

3m23s Figures that the biggest laugh at a bar show is “they’re not all drunks”

5m32s Fred Astaire isn’t an effective punch line

7m37s Anytime there’s an inappropriate audience member or two, I should stop after every joke and address them with the lesson

9m15s Medicore tag of “not all the white ones are tight” try it once more then cut it

0m18s Instead of “things” it should be “statements”

1m44s Don’t laugh after this joke

2m44s Try to reword it “babies are the new crack cocaine”

3m05s Say “fallopian tubes” not “tubes”

3m58s Be careful not to overdo the “that’s brilliant” statements, but occasionally it is funny

5m03s Don’t laugh after that punch line, unless it’s a really evil laugh

8m06s Strengthen this act out

8m37s This is where I should’ve turned to the kids and said, “Children, don’t hang out with priests”

0m12s I need to rewrite the names joke

1m36s Some audience members finished dinner, I’m pretty sure they weren’t leaving cause of me cause they weren’t listening anyway

3m05s I need to get into this joke better

4m30s I love that I actually started workshopping a joke for a minute

5m01s Pause after “rookie card”

5m26s It should be “dedication” not “determination”

5m51s Explain what Sabermetrics is

6m07s add “per million” after 19.2

1m15s Don’t do a fake I’m done, just remember that closing bit

Overall: I did another 30 minute set, I was only planning on doing 10-15 so I kept checking my notes, mostly because I wanted to work out newer stuff. People weren’t listening the whole time, but it’s always nice to be on stage for a long time and to work stuff out.
